Above all, to the Christ – Ruler over every world, birthing countless more in vasty pillars and caves of far nebulae. Things that impress (terrorize!) us, are nothing to You by Whom all things are made. We abide this present earth, this fiction, reality being far beyond our feeble minds; We fell! (Fall daily still.) What dream is this – Creator dies, redeeming creatures? For time-bound dreamers, this alone is real; our mortal shackles (time and sin) compounding mystery. Answers finally dawn – true life begins – only when our shell has run its course: We fall... We rise! O High King, I long to see Your face, forever. vii Contents 8 Introduction ...............................................................................11 Lie #1: The Constitution grants citizen rights .............................27 Lie #2: Supremacy Clause means federal trumps state ..................30 Lie #3: Judicial Review is only federal .........................................33 Lie #4: Sovereign immunity means Congress is untouchable ........36 Lie #5: Everything is interstate commerce ...................................39 Lie #6: General welfare means the founders were socialists ..........44 Lie #7: Voting is citizens’ only remedy for corruption .................49 Lie #8: The GOP is conservative ................................................52 Lie #9: Congress can grant a counterfeiting concession ..............66 Lie #10: Congress can run domestic terror operations ................71 Madison on a motorcycle: AmericaAgain!...................................76 Epilogue .....................................................................................91 Endnotes ....................................................................................95 Suggested Resources ...................................................................98 Suggested Reading ....................................................................105 Appendices ...............................................................................119 A.

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness… (Job 5:8,12,13) Those…who pay no regard to religion and sobriety in the persons whom they send to the legislature…are guilty of the greatest absurdity and will soon pay dear for their folly. (John Witherspoon) __________ he tombstone of a civilization is laid at that point where truth Tis no longer defended because it cannot be known. No civi- lization is eternal; each has a discernible birth, leaves an historical record, and then dies with a whimper or a bang. In some cases, the whimpering can span centuries; witness the jackals of Islam picking at Europe’s dry bones today. Rather than defend their citizens and cultures, the European governments that once were imperial predators across the world are now content to use their own citizens as carrion. The predator instinct is just one aspect of fallen humanity. Beginning in the Lincoln era, government has increasingly and ever more audaciously preyed on us. We suffer regulation, invasion of privacy, and taxation from school boards to Washington D.C., not 11 This Bloodless Liberty to mention countless bites in between. Half of America seems on the take or on the dole. The New World now exceeds the Old World corruption that our founders risked their lives to escape. A time of great hope Having said that, this book will demonstrate that as unlikely as it may appear, we have more reason for hope today than in the past two centuries. Truth can be known; if it’s defended, we have hope. I will not attempt to expose every illegal or immoral act of our government over the past 150 years; Suggested Reading at the end of the book will point you to further reading on that score. This is a call to lifelong action and a lawful, practical plan for that action, that you can join today. This book is for Americans like me, who have had enough and who want to take America back. I’ll propose a new way of relating to government: not politics, elections, or even secession. Not more faxes, petitions, or pink slips delivered to predators. Such campaigns have transformed hucksters into millionaires, but wrought no change in government. Instead, we must begin to perform our citizen duty assigned by the founding fathers. The buck stops with you This book will demonstrate that America’s plight is our fault; We The People1 are apex sovereigns over our Constitution. We don’t look to employees to reform themselves; we use our retained power of oversight and law enforcement. To get America back, we must take it back rather than appealing to party machines. We must graduate from politics in our lives; employ house-by-house, coordinated tac- tical wisdom; stop squandering family time. The internet provides us the best opportunity in 200 years to reclaim lost liberty. No population has ever used the internet to stop government corruption and re-establish rule of law. Because of our Constitution, we’re the only population on earth who can peacefully 12 This Bloodless Liberty achieve this in the foreseeable future. This book will demonstrate how AmericaAgain! can be one way to do it. First, I must debunk ten lies that federal Leviathan has used to enslave us. Then I will present the AmericaAgain! tactical plan. At www.MyAmericaAgain.org the AmericaAgain! Declaration appears in full, and is also reproduced as Appendix C hereto. Our plan follows James Madison’s work. It is lawful, moral, and logistically simple. Now don’t say that no one has offered an action plan to recover the life and republic that we once had. Seven generations in the desert Why have productive Americans been incapable of arresting the lawlessness that we so clearly despise? In Chapter 12, you will see how massive the parasite segment is, and how it is banking on you remaining ignorant, too perplexed to take action. The two pro- ducing generations today have not recognized the predators; nor do their children, now in K-12 schools. Nor did the four generations during the 20th century, including the ‘greatest generation’ that is more socialist than any other. We certainly cannot win a battle if we don’t even know who our enemies are. The ancient tradition of governments plundering citizens is very well described by economics professor Joseph Salerno in the intro- duction to Murray Rothbard’s classic on American banking: The State throughout history has been a segment of the population that forsakes peaceful economic activity to con- stitute itself as a ruling class (that) makes its living para- sitically by establishing a permanent hegemonic or political relationship between itself and the productive population. This political relationship permits the rulers to subsist on the tribute or taxes routinely and ‘legally’ expropriated from the income and wealth of the producing class. The latter class is composed of the subjects or, in the case of demo- cratic states, the taxpayers who earn their living through 13 This Bloodless Liberty the peaceful economic means of production and volun- tary exchange. In contrast, constituents of the ruling class may be thought of as tax-consumers who earn their living through the coercive
